In my part of the world we say you are a fool if your passion for a pursuit overcomes all practical sense. I am a stitching fool, and I stitch foolishness.

There and Back Again

BDE and I went to Salty Yarns last week for classes with Jackie du Plessis.

And this is what I took:


 I've loved all of these Case Studies, and this one may be the most dramatic of them all. And it opens up and there are some really unique pockets inside. This is on the top of my list to start.

Unless this one comes to the top of the list:

This one is so cool! It has a drawer that pulls out for storing treasures. Maybe it's on the top of the list.

And here's the third class I took:



Bedazzled fruit (actually glittered cotton forms) in their own embroidered basket--actually, this is not on the top of my list at the moment. I painted the cotton forms in class but didn't want to glitter until I got home. And I think, rather than a basket of fruit, I may turn these into Christmas tree ornaments. Any glittering, however, is going to happen when I have on old clothes and can set myself up a workstation on the deck. That way I can sweep the excess glitter through the boards of the deck and not have it all over the house.

Glitter can take over the world.

We drove back yesterday--it was a beautiful day for a long drive--but we got in too late for me to work on my Sunday Sampler. Today I'm unpacking and unloading and reorganizing and deciding on a stitching schedule of sorts because I have so many pretties that I want to do right now!!!

And on to another topic which has been irritating me: Once again, I can't respond to comments on my own blog. Please know that I read and appreciate every single one of you who takes the time to read and react to my babbling.
